PS3 exclusive game content:

EA exclusive content:

Medal of Honor – Deuce exclusive character. Limited Edition exclusive to PS3: Medal of Honor Frontline included. (Sounds like PS3 is partnering up with Medal of Honor like Xbox 360 has partnered with Activision for Modern Warfare 2.)

Sorcery – A third-person action game where you play a sorcerer armed with a magic wand (or PS Move controller). Flick a PS Move controller to shoot from your wand. One to one movement. Other movements included shaking a potion and drinking to activate special powers. The crowd seemed pretty impress by this one, as it presented as pretty solid third-person action adventure. Estimated Spring 2011 release.

Partnership with Coca-Cola announced. PlayStation Move games will be featured on Coca-Cola products, so expect to see more of it in your grocery store!

PlayStation 3 games showcased –

Twisted Metal for PS3 announced – Sony literally drove in David Jaffe on stage at the end of their press conference to unveil the much rumored and anticipated game. It’s currently estimated for a 2011 release. Online team deathmatch was shown (supports up to 16 players). Flying vehicles make their debut in Twisted Metal, as demonstrated by a helicopter. The new “Nuke” gameplay mode showed how players on each team had to destroy faction statues to win.
